Welcome to the Library and Information Science Program

For more than 100 years, Pitt has been
educating the professionals who will lead us through the information age:
librarians, information and knowledge managers, archivists, and digital-content managers. As the nature and form of information
evolves and becomes more complex with each passing year, the education of its
managers becomes increasingly vital.

Our Library and Information Science Program offers an array of
graduate degree programs and specializations designed to prepare students for
careers in this critical profession. We offer one of the most recognized
programs in the nation -- our Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree
is accredited by the American Library Association (ALA).

The Doctor of Philosophy Program prepares students for advanced work in research, teaching, and administration. The program will give students the opportunity to gain the skills in teaching or research appropriate for careers at major research universities, teaching institutions, and library systems.

From the faculty who drive our reputation as a top-tier research university to our
course work, which is highly relevant to a field that is always changing, the iSchool offers the right environment to prepare you for a successful and challenging career in the library and information science field.
